Monday Listicles

I can tell because everything is blooming and people seem cheerful. Also because I am scrambling to write this in time after a weekend spent in the back yard, planting. Followed by evenings spent panicking about having to wear short sleeves soon. But I will worry about this later.

First there is a small matter of Listicles. Last time we talked road and you came up with some amazing lists. I enjoyed reading them all and can’t wait to see what kind of silly celebrity comparisons you come up with this week.

Before all that I need to tell you something truly shocking. While reading Deborah’s list last week I realized we have never done a list of 10 books! Outrageous, no? So to restore balance in universe and blogoland, next week we are doing A LIST OF 10 BOOKS. Feel free to put your spin on it.

And now, insipred by trashy magazines:

Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!

10 reasons celebrities are just like us

1. They wake up every morning.

Then they probably get it on with their celebrity lover. How they do that without peeing of brushing teeth first is beyond me.

2. They have breakfast.

Except they drink their coffee while it is still hot.

3. They go to work.

Singing, dancing, acting, or just playing themselves in a reality show must be very hard work. I never tried it, so I cannot tell.

4. They go to Starbucks

They go in, order and walk out with their beverage. But I doubt they feel as guilty as I do for spending $4.25.

5. They shop.

Probably more like Rodeo Dr and less Gap outlet on sale.

6. They drive cars

But they don’t have superfly minivans like me.

7. They fall in love and get married

Except they can afford a divorce when the going get’s tough and give up too soon.

That’s right, Stasha. You ARE a celebrity. Love your comment, Bruna, and love your list, Stasha, especially the sweaty feet, and the part about the bloggers you follow who are funnier and more talented than celebrities. It’s true!

Twitter: beeswithhoneyEveryone’s feet sweat, don’t they? LOL
I think you look way better getting a Starbucks than any celebrity. What am I talking about?!?! You’re the List Maker. You ARE a celebrity! ♥Bruna recently posted..trouble maker

Twitter: mannahattamammayou *are* a celebrity: you’re the listicle lady. and that lady with a big dog. and that lady with a camera. You’re practically already on the cover of US, swear to god. Celebs ain’t got nothing on you – we all saw those pictures you took of yourself: you are a minivan driving, horseback riding, glama-mama. so there.deborah l quinn recently posted..Comment on Monday Listicle: Roads…Reads by Monday Listicles

Twitter: notwifezilla#6 &8 Had me smiling.
I wonder if any do drive minivans…or shall I say, swagger wagons?
And I do agree, the tweets I get from my blogger friends are far more interesting and worthwhile then pretty much 99% of celebs.Jackie recently posted..Who’s up for a play date?

Twitter: mksmarketingStasha,
I think the you are right about celebrities. My philosophy about life is that we are all given the same gifts. The only difference is how we use them. Some of us sit on this treasure box starving, because it never occurs to just open the it. Others start using the gifts freely and benefit all the time. All is a matter of choice. We all are different expressions of the same thing.Margarita recently posted..How To Reduce Daily Stress

Twitter: normalmomally#1 – always cracks me up when I see a movie or tv show where they wake up and go at it. I’m always thinking ‘Oh no, I’d totally have to pee!’ That and brush my teeth, without question.

I’m certain I look like that when getting my latte, too. Only with brown hair. Ally recently posted..Monday Listicles… Or Not

Twitter: staceysmomentsThey definitely miss out on the superfly minivans. Or in my case, a superfly extended van. I wonder what Angelina Jolie drives? Probably an extended hummer or something cool like that. Great list!stacey recently posted..How to sew stuff

Twitter: teamraslerYay, I can’t wait for next week’s Listicle! I always wonder the same things about celebrities first thing in the morning. My husband is more than a little tired of my saying, “eww” when movies show scenes of people rolling over in the morning and French kissing the people next to them. Yuck. Toothpaste is a must.[email protected] Rasler recently posted..Trading my crown for a cape

Twitter: roryboreI totally looked like that out at the bus stop with my kids this morning.
except my pants were green jogging style – because of course I have date with my trainer right after. and that’s why my hair was in a pony tail too. I mean, why fuss before the sytlist arrives, right?
okay then…off to lunch. cheerio *kiss, kiss*RoryBore recently posted..Let’s Party! UBP 2012

Twitter: mannahattamammaanother comment, because I just realized that I’m not entirely sure who that *is* in the starbucks picture. you? the hunger games girl? some girl from a tv show about rich people? i feel OLD!deborah l quinn recently posted..Comment on Eight Months: Daily Life by susan weisser

Twitter: NorthWestMommyOK, honestly I don’t know. And I went back to the source of the image, but no luck. I googled Celebrities in Starbucks and this was the first thing that popped up. She looked famous enough and nothing like me

Twitter: LizS_BLOVE it!!! You always make me smile & for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart… I needed that today!
Will post mine when I can think straight enough to not be too serious.
It’s 4am now and I’m off to bed, wondering if I should try no 1… 😉Liz recently posted..Life’s too short…

Twitter: mommysloungeI absolutely love your list. If I were to make one, it would be a complete replica of this – then we would have copyright infringement issues. hehe

Anyway, so I’m not joining in this week cuz I don’t really watch tv anymore or follow anything to do with celebrities. But for next week? I’m so there! Books. I. Love.Janice recently posted..Super Easy and Quick Scrapbook Page!

You crack me up. I’m pretty sure the celebs have some one pee and brush their teeth for them in the morning. Great topic for next week. Keep rockin that superfly minivan.paul recently posted..Stars in your eyes

Twitter: southmainmuseYes, they do grow old. I have often thought that would be one of the most difficult parts of being a celebrity. Growing old under a microscope.Jamie recently posted..Almost Famous. That’d be a great movie title.

I love number 4. You are so right they probably don’t have the guilt and the “I could of made this for less at home” thoughts that I know I have. I swear every time I go to Starbucks my espresso machine cries.

Twitter: mommy_padawanHaha – it’s almost noon here and I just re-heated my morning coffee for the 3rd time! Guess I’m not a celeb Love your list. I would love to not feel guilty about Starbucks but I love not having the pressure of having to look “perfect” at all times, I would really not be good at that part! So sad I was sick all weekend and didn’t do a list but I am totally excited for next week – I love books!Anna recently posted..Still A Padawan

Twitter: smushyfacebabyoh, i am such a foot sweater. it would totally make me feel better to know that madonna and angelina jolie all have sweaty feet, too! (also, if i woke up next to brad pitt or whatever hot latin model madonna is dating these days… no offense to my husband, of course!).Susan recently posted..Because it’s Monday, and I Can

[…] Stasha went all pop culture this week and asked us to write about celebrities and that inspires me to make a confession: I love trashy magazines. After college, I lived in an apartment about a block from a Store 24 and one of the few pleasures I could afford in those days was to walk into the store, buy a pack of gum or something, and then stand there for hours reading pretty much every magazine they had.
